A purported excerpt from the upgrade notes to the software mentions users having the option of downloading TV episodes in "HD quality," suggesting the software will be the first from Apple to offer any kind of purchasable HD content outside of the Apple TV and that HD will extend beyond the movie-only options available today.

Many of you guys forget that all these chains have purchasable passes that are a * fraction of the cost of a ticket purchased at the box office* (usually about half the price if not more) that can be used * opening day*.
